Outside of her professional life, Oswald enjoys Alaska’s natural beauty, hiking, fishing, and experiencing the awe-inspiring sights of moose, the Northern Lights, bears, and the thrill of catching her first Halibut. Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Lourdes University in Sylvania, Ohio, and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Spring Arbor University in Jackson, Michigan, where she achieved her Board Certification as a Nurse Practitioner.
